Let’s talk about the Path Into Depression 2017/2018. One theory – admittedly a bit conspiratorial – is that some market big wigs got an advance on the “Illary” news that broke last weekend. As a result – holds the theory – a very few key Big Guns sold at the top – which is why … Read More

With the latest round of woes for presumptive presidential high-bidder Hillary Clinton, the pseudo-liberal East Coast money establishment has been in an uproar since late last week. We can see there were two drivers to this gnawing sense of fear: One was polls showing Donald Trump was back in the lead by several measures. The … Read More
My big mission in Life today is to get you to spend $10 bucks at Amazon. Before you rush off thinking “Oh my God, not another highly polished and monetized website,” rest assured it’s still UrbanSurvival. But I have an interesting tale of aging, looking at data, and thinking that we’ve been doing in background … Read More
Today we will skip the more theoretical economics discussions – the commentary Wednesday on why tax cuts won’t work for Trump should be enough reading to keep you busy thinking for a while. Instead, we will look at our Trading Model’s results for the week and then see how there is a chance (though small) … Read More
No, but time to update out data which is coming tomorrow in Peoplenomics. The market has taken out one key – first level of support – in the manic decline of today (so far). We will have a detailed look at a couple of prospective wave counts and target levels in our Peoplenomics report tomorrow. … Read More
Oh, you didn’t hear? Well that $400-million in foreign cash that the Golfer in Chief dispensed to Iran is turning into the least of our worries. So is the reported earlier this week that the real number was PURPORTED TO BE $1.7-BILLION. Because as of this morning, the real number is looking like it could … Read More
Earlier this week I went into (excruciatingly boring) detail about how to set up a computer, ham radio receiver or transceiver (set on the widest bandwidth you can find) and then directly capture satellite images on the lash-up. Peoplenomics readers got to peek at one of the first black and white (composite) images Wednesday. And … Read More
Have to admit it: Not a hell of a lot on the economic front worth getting worked up over. Sure, the Fed has the Consumer Debt report this afternoon and we will see some oil/petroleum data from the Energy Information Administration. But of the two, I’ll take the Fed data as the “most exciting” which … Read More
As you can see in the following picture, Ure’s truly has an old 2001 Dodge Ram Pick-em-up. One winter day, about 2006, or so, this big hairy limb about 5-inches in diameter decides to fall on the hood of the truck, like so…. Now I’m in no particular hurry to spiff up the old farm … Read More
Yes, there is some good news about debt., With the help of some input from my friend Jas Jain, we take a look at why Reaganonomics worked and why a Trump version of tax cuts could would be a disaster. Then we explore the one way Trump could “thread the needle just so…” and come … Read More
We open this week, as expected, with the markets set to open about flat. That much was fairly predictable. What is NOT predictable is what will happen next. Well, except for the Gallup Consumer numbers this morning and the Fed-Speaks going on this week. Still, it’s all really just foreplay compared to the September 20-21 … Read More
“Devil makes work for idle hands,” it is said. So I dutifully started to clean out the UrbanSurvival/Peoplenomics office Saturday. And by the time last night rolled around, little looked any different, but at least there was a Big Plan that was coming into view. You see, a lot of preppers have very little to … Read More
